The BBC website went down for almost an hour and everyone felt a bit lost

The BBC’s website was replaced with a fiery test card on Thursday morning in an apparent technical issue lasting almost an hour.

Visitors to the popular website were greeted with an Error 500 warning and a test card of a puppet close to flames.

Of course, internet users across the UK and further afield didn’t know where to go and took to social media in the meantime.

In a tweet of its own, the broadcaster said it was working to fix the issue.

Order was eventually restored at about 10am, to the delight of many.
